Step 1: Cleanser Starting with clean skin makes the rest of your skin-care arsenal more effective. Try a gentle cleanser that leaves protective oils and moisture behind (we like Dove Beauty Bar and Neutrogena Facial Cleansing Bar.) "For an extra boost, use a product made with alpha-hydroxy acids , or AHAs, to exfoliate the dead cells, help plump up your skin, and give a healthy glow," says Francesca J. Fusco, M.D. AHAs make the outermost layer of skin stronger and more resistant to irritation.
